If you have never heard of Stamp of Approval, it is an exclusive collection, the products were designed FOR the box and most of the products won't be available until much later in 2016. This next collection releases on February 3rd!!!

This collection is chock full of supplies that
will have your creativity going off the charts. I have been creating
many projects using the stamps/dies included in the collection.

I started my card by masking off the two sides of the card base with post it tape. I then sponged some distress inks onto the panel. After sponging, I inked up the streamer stamp in the coordinating distress ink colors and stamped them down the panel. Sprinkled some water on to get the water spots. Removed the masks, stamped the sentiment (LOVE the font). Die cut the balloons and stamped the bursts using a light gray ink. Attached them with foam tape to add dimension.

I posted this card on Instagram and on my blog the other day. My good friend, Michele "challenged" me to make a Valentine's card using these mittens. I took her challenge. I hope you like it, Michele. :)
I LOVE how Michele uses fun sentiments on her cards, so this is for YOU, my friend. xoxo I created the sentiment and printed it out on my computer.

The new Scripted love die is perfect for this challenge. I also stamped my plaid background using the new Get in Line stamp set. Love how easy it is to create your own plaid background with this stamp set. I am excited to try out many different color combos.

Anyone can enter this challenge and you don't even have to use Whimsy products, although it would be great if you did. There is also a prize offered.

This week Deanne challenges us to create a Christmas card with your favorite warm beverage.

One of my favorite warm beverages is hot chocolate. The other is tea. I have tea every morning and have hot chocolate every once in a while on cold winter days. Love having marshmallows and a candy cane stuck into my hot chocolate too. YUM!!!

I stamped the candy cane's on the bottom using a border stamp from the SOA Holiday Magic Collection.
